Abstract

Project management (PM) is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements. PM approaches must be tailored to fit specific contexts, such as Public Procurement (PP), which involves the purchase of goods and infrastructure by public administrations from private entities. Tailoring can occur on multiple levels; for example, PM approaches can be customized at the organizational level and then again at the project level. The literature acknowledges the importance of tailoring in the context of PP, but there is a gap in the study regarding the levels of tailoring in PP. Given the scarcity of previous studies on the subject, an inductive approach is adopted, based on three action research studies in large PP contexts in northern Italy: the construction of a metro system, the project portfolio of a university, and the creation of a teaching and research center. In these three projects, a work and research team, including the authors, was established. The results were derived from the notes taken by the work and research team. The result is that in PP, a first level of tailoring occurs at the national/European Union level, imposed by the regulatory context, while a second level of tailoring may be present at the organizational or project level. In both cases, the tailoring of Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) is essential to ensure transparency and integrity of the process.
